Hut History

The Woodbury Cabin was built over the summers of 1983 and 1984 at the exact site on which an old mining cabin once existed. The circumstances that came together for the construction of the hut worked out conveniently – a great site location, abundant building materials, and free labor provided by a provincial co-operative inmate program. The hut was also built with the goal of creating an incentive to draw park users away from the central core of the park and into the less crowded areas by providing a base for their recreational activities.

We appreciate that the lands known today as Canada are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit and we acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who continue to lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place. The Alpine Club of Canada’s head office is located in the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which is comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people.
